deploy openflow nodered using NPM
Quick start running openflow nodered using npm on windows
This require you to have openflow installed somewhere, or you can use our public openflow at app.openiap.io (noderedremote.env)
Create a user for the nodered in openflow, you will need the username and password for this user in the last step
open a command prompt as admin
install nodejs LTS 14
choco install nodejs-lts
install openflow-nodered command line
npm i @openiap/nodered -g
Go to the folder where you want to keep your config files,
mkdir c:\openflow
cd \openflow
install pm2 as a global package, and then install pm2-windows-service Important: Say no to startup scripts PM2_SERVICE_SCRIPTS
npm i -g pm2
npm i -g pm2-windows-service
pm2-service-install
# Perform environment setup: answer yes
# Set PM2_HOME: answer yes and the type the path to the folder you intent on saving the openflow/nodered config files into ( like c:\openflow )
# PM2_SERVICE_SCRIPTS: answer no
# PM2_SERVICE_PM2_DIR: answer yes, and then accept the default path
then create a template configuration file using
openflow-nodered-cli --init
this will create 2 environment files with an example of how to connect to a locally installed openflow or how to connect to app.openiap.io So lets assume you want to run a remote openflow connected to app.openiap.io
openflow-nodered-cli --install noderedremote
this will prompt you for a pre-created username and password, and then install a local service with the name noderedremote and start it
then open a browser and visit localhost.openiap.io:1880
Quick start running openflow nodered using npm on linux
For now only tested on ubuntu 18LTS Install NodeJS version 14 This require you to have openflow installed somewhere, or you can use our public openflow at app.openiap.io (noderedremote.env)
Create a user for the nodered in openflow, you will need the username and password for this user in the last step
Then install and run OpenFlow Nodered, install the @openiap/nodered package
sudo npm i @openiap/nodered -g
then create a template configuration file using
openflow-nodered-cli --init
this will create 2 environment files with an example of how to connect to a locally installed openflow or how to connect to app.openiap.io So lets assume you want to run a remote openflow connected to app.openiap.io
sudo openflow-nodered-cli --install noderedremote
this will prompt for the pre-created username and password, and then install a local service with the name noderedremote and start it
then open a browser and visit localhost.openiap.io:1880
I also go though this process in the video
